According to Fraenkel, related to vėlankė, vėlangė ("weather vane"), ultimately from the same root as vėjas(“wind”).
Smoczynski derives the word from vė́ti(“to blow (of wind)”) + a neo-suffix -liava also found in words like mẽsliava and nẽšliava, literally "that which blows in the wind", comparing the formation to that of Czechvlajka(“flag”). This derivation ultimately traces back to the same Proto-Indo-European root as Fraenkel's.[1]
